TOM: All you kids staring at your screens You should have been there back in 2019 The ERG were laying plots and schemes... Theresa May had to resign World leaders failed to act their age When Greta Thunberg took the stage And Donald Trump choked up with rage As temperatures steadily climbed As Boris romped to victory The lockdowns started overseas But that was nothing - just ask Lee About the winter of '79 LEE: I'd been working on and off A pint of beer was still ten bob My brand new Bonneville got ripped off I more or less gave up trying They stopped the Social in the spring And quite a few communists got run in And National Service come back in In the winter of '79 When Marco's caff went up in flames The Vambo boys took the blame The SAS come and took our names In the winter of '79 (GUITAR SOLO) TOM: When Dominic C was forced to flee And Boris lapsed into insanity... Mark and Lee and the TRB got together in 2021 For a tour or three including Glastonbury in the summer of '21 We'll be glad to be back with Markie D In the Summer of '21.
